Black Friday Bargains from the Comfort of Your Couch

We’ve rounded up six digital retailers you won’t want to miss—and some great gift ideas inspired by their goods, too. Grab your gift recipient list (and some leftover pumpkin pie), and make start making a dent in that holiday shopping list without even leaving the house.
